Today I would like to tell you something that is bothering me last couple days... Usually, I am trying to stay positive and spread good vibes, but right now I can not stay aside, because it's very important.
⠀
I am talking about the massive fire in Siberia.⠀
Right now 3 million ha of Siberian forest is dying in a massive fire.
3m. ha it's a territory of Belgium or Massachusetts!
11 millions ha of the forest was already burned this year (it's equal Cuba's territory)
⠀
The Russian government was staying aside all these days and telling that economically it's not important to extinguish that fires. One of the governers even said, what sometimes fires are good for the forest(!) He said: "You are not going to melt an iceberg if you feel cold! Why we need to stop a fire in the summer, it's just part of nature"
⠀
Dear Mr. Governor, No, you don't need to melt icebergs, they are already melting because of global warming! And global warming happening partly because we are don't care about nature! Such a massive wildfire harms nature in a GLOBAL way!
⠀
Right now my own home town Ulan-Ude is covered by the smog of Siberian fires, it's hard to breathe and the sun is covered by mist. Is it dangerous enough? What about little kids, people with asthma, pregnant women and seniors, is it not dangerous for them?
And it's happening not only in my town it's all around Russia!
⠀
And what about all the animals in the forest?
Who is going to restore the ecosystem?
Who is going to plant the forest again?
WE need to do something about that!
⠀
If you want to help, please sign petitions, spread this information, donate to greenpeaceru
Right now small independent organizations helping to extinguish fires near small villages, you can help them as a volunteer or send them some donations.
